Absolutely fitting coda to the whole Epstein horror show is that the brave testimony of dozens of women could not be credited and we need the emails of men to deem it credible.

“None of this is complicated. [They] ran on affordability in 2024. They gave sanctimonious lectures on cable news on election night about how the ‘silent working class majority’ had spoken. Then they governed as reckless authoritarians, punishing the working class.” @tbonier h/t @hcrichardson

It’s not only vaccines: CDC has long been a thorn in industry’s side. Think of all the research on workplace safety (NIOSH), like coal dust, child labor, ventilation, carcinogens in the workplace, masking, fall prevention, countless issues.
So now CDC is out of the way -

Wow! Terrifyingly similar approaches to gaslighting public to the detriment of health and science
Привет, товарищи! It’s another glorious day in which Trump’s America is increasingly indistinguishable from Stalinist Russia, so I thought an armchair comparative analysis was in order.

Energy?

"Energy"?

Are you fucking kidding me?
"Kennedy questioned the effectiveness of the vaccines…

'You can't control the amount of energy that everybody is getting," he said. "When you give a vaccine, you want to know exactly how much energy is because some people react very, very badly and can get very, very badly injured.'"

“Virus was detected in the air in milking parlors and from exhaled breath of cows. Infectious H5N1 virus was detected in the air and water streams; sequence analysis revealed viral variants on a farm in these locations.”

In addition to aerosols from cattle breath and milking equipment, they found virus in samples of farm wastewater, which is often used in greywater applications on farms, including irrigating fields or washing pens. 🧪
